me, a butch, tacking a rose and a sephora gift card onto a fishing line and casting it out into a lesbian bar: find me a femme girlfriend
Me, a femme, hanging out at the lesbian bar with my butch gf, frantically tangling your fishing hooks together so when you try to reel them in its like the spaghetti scene in lady and the tramp: find eachother you sweet, beautiful, useless lesbians
If the art side of Tumblr doesn’t turn this into a mini-comic then why even does the internet exist
So. Today in class we assigned Macbeth roles to students to read. When I asked the class who wants to be Lady Macbeth, a young man raised his hand. I kind of stared at him like “Lady Macbeth,” and he nodded like “I know what I’m about ma’am.” So then the student who ended up as Macbeth raised his hand and said “HE’S THE ONE, HE’S MY WIFE!” So I said “yeah sure why not,” and the entire class period they were blowing kisses to each other and winking at each other, and every now and then Macbeth would say “I’m the luckiest man on Earth” and Lady Macbeth would put a hand to his chest, and be like “BABE!”.
I just stared at them, knowing that they CLEARLY have never read ‘Macbeth’ before, so… all this lovey dovey… I don’t know if I have the heart to tell them the truth.
Update:
Macbeth is absolutely willing to fucking throw down for Lady Macbeth. Has already threatened a wall, a desk, a few students, a textbook that was neither his nor Lady Macbeth’s, and me
Lady Macbeth is enjoying the attention and has begun to use this new connection to his advantage. I’m starting to suspect he’s read ahead in the play.
Macbeth is going to end up living in detention at this rate.
Macbeth has no idea that he is the tragedy of the story. Claims to be the hero of the play, fails to see the irony in this
Macbeth slowly scooted his desk across the classroom to hold hands with Lady Macbeth. He was not subtle.
Macbeth has proposed on several occasions. Lady Macbeth just laughs and says they’re already married.
Macbeth’s girlfriend is in the class with them and is “totally not jealous or anything just thinks this whole fucking play is a waste of time”
Lady Macbeth should probably be a theatre major at some point, he fucking rocked Act V scene I
Other teachers and staff are emailing me about the “lovely lords”. Lady Macbeth now refuses to answer to anything other than Lady Macbeth and is always very upset when people don’t call him by his proper title.
I feel like we need to annotate Homestuck because it was very much a beast of its time and I feel like there’s a lot of in-jokes that get missed by people reading it today. Like the fact that Dave’s “kick it barack” actually took place on Obama’s reelection night, and John arriving 15 pages late with Starbucks, and those Kickstarter fantrolls, and why tricksters are Like That. So many good gags lost to time and a very specific context.
Oh my God does this mean that future generations reading Homestuck will have to go into the footnotes and appendices like they were reading Dante’s Goddamn Inferno
hell, a lot of the early jokes at least, even most of the current fans are too young to get. i caught some callbacks to games from the 80′s.
imma get real for a sec i’m p sure this is an upcoming film called Bad Black made by a studio called Wakaliwood. these movies are made in the slums of kampala uganda by people who do it for the sheer love and fun of it. that alone is the most heartwarming thing ever, esp in the midst of cash grab movies with no soul. the guy behind wakaliwood is an aspiration. i hope he’s got more resources now but when he was first starting out he sold everything he could just for the basic movie making equipment and built his own computer to store the data and edit. “who killed captain alex”, their first film to make it online, is a goddamn gem that doesn’t even answer its own question but you’ll have a fucking blast. y’all should support these folks bc they deserve every cent.
They also have a Patreon!!!! The money goes towards their supplies and feeding the cast.
And you can watch Who Killed Captain Alex for free on YouTube or you can buy the DVD to support them more!
I’ll have the Steven Universe fandom get the Crystal Gems to form Alexandrite so they can crush anyone who questions the SuperWhoLocks, Potterheads, and Fannibals…
You guys, as a US labor historian, let me tell you: It is actually very significant that US union membership actually increased in 2017. Like it probably won’t get huge play on the major media outlets, but that is a big fucking deal. That hasn’t happened to any significant degree since the 1970s. Unions have pretty much only declined since 1976. But unions added over 200,000 members last year, most of whom were under 35. That is a massive deal. That is building people power. That is a huge reason to be optimistic.
Keep it going. Join a fucking union y’all. iww.org
Yes. Writing a book is the easiest thing in the whole world. In fact, let me show you just how easy it is!
Goal: change all this paper into a book.
Eh, not that hard. I mean, you just have to read, right?
Maybe scratch a few notes in the margins as reminders.
Yeah, writing and editing isn’t time consuming or painstaking at all.
In fact, I find it quite relaxing. Good meditation. No stress whatsoever!
I mean, it’s not like writing a book involves any train of thought or decision making, like when to cut scenes, because whatever you write is perfect and there to stay!
I mean, come on, it’s not like I’m going to rewrite the first chapter 51 TIMES to make sure it’s how I want it, right? That’d be crazy.
And no, it’s not like I spent over 3,000 HOURS READING AND REVISING 14 DRAFTS OF THE BOOK to make this book readable.
No sweat, no tears, no blood, and DEFINITELY no coffee stains.
Nope, writing is the easiest job in the world. I don’t see why anyone thinks otherwise. I mean, all we do is scribble words and take a few out, right?
We feel no satisfaction AT ALL when we receive a shipment of the final product for a book signing. *yawn* BOR–ING.
Nope, we don’t get excited at all. It’s just another day in the life.
And the sequels? Bitch, please. That’s child’s play.
You’re right. Writing a book is so easy. It’s not stressful, not exciting, and it’s definitely not worth the reward of holding something that USED TO BE EXCLUSIVELY IN YOUR HEAD AND NOW YOU GET TO SHARE IT WITH THE WHOLE WORLD.
Im not sure this scares me or inspires me…
so much more respect for writers now
I’m going to Reblog this until the end of time. Capital R. Thanks for this post. Ugh.
just moving along like everyone else
